Quality of Place
As a recreational paradise, Okeechobee County is a bit of a paradox. After all, making your home in Okeechobee County could be a truly timeless experience. With thousands upon thousands of gorgeous outdoor acres, “being active” can mean anything from hunting, hiking, biking and horseback riding to bird watching, clay and sport shooting, to golfing—or it can mean sitting back on a lazy afternoon floating with your fishing gear on Lake Okeechobee, Florida’s largest freshwater lake.
